- The 49ers bolstered the defensive line as Keion White is set for his debut and Clelin Ferrell was elevated from the practice squad.
- Yetur Gross-Matos was placed on injured reserve, while Ricky Pearsall, Jake Brendel and Bryce Huff were ruled out for the Giants game.
- San Francisco activated Spencer Burford to the 53-man roster, downgraded Ben Bartch to out, and listed Jordan Elliott as questionable for personal reasons.
